Re: Multiple magnets, one zone, EOL resistor. Never works!



Yeah, that's a good idea -- I simply shorted all the window contacts
together and pulled the wires off the panel.  I measures 2.2K ohms on
the meter.  Then, one at a time, I disconnected each window contact, to
assure myself that it indeed produced an open circuit, and it did.  So
either: you're right and the value of the resistor is not compatible
with the panel, or the panel programming is wrong, or some other
outside force is influencing my zone such as the phase of the moon or
number of resident aliens in the local area.
One question, though: If I cut the yellow wire for each window switch,
should the EOL resistor be placed on the same yellow wire before the
last switch, or on the green uncut wire just after the last switch?
